Chelsea “Welsee” Harris went 4 for 4, turned in a
base-saving textbook slide at third, scored once and turned a double play in
the top of the seventh by snagging a line drive at third and humming it to
Paige “Dottie” Ovens at second to catch the runner before he could get back to
the bag.
Paige went 2 for 4, batted in 2 RBIs and turned in a double
play in the top of the sixth, snagging a line drive at second and catching the
runner off the base at first. Lauren
Stuart Illing went 2 for 3 and scored while pinch running for Coach Linda
Regira. She also snagged 2 flies in left
field, setting a ladies’ outfield performance record. Linda went 1 for 3 with 2 RBIs.
Eddie James led the men going 2 for 4 with the only double
of the night, scoring once and tallying 3 RBIs.
David Carter, Rick “ROI” Ward, Eric Burton and Will “He Hate Me”
Marshall all went 2 for 3 at the plate.
David and Rick both scored once and Will (the team speed demon) scored
twice. Will also attempted to slide at
second but the ball got there just ahead of him. Another record for the Zeppelins – two slides
in one game! Will also snagged two flies
in the outfield.
Rick turned in an awesome performance on the mound, giving
DOTD batters fits at the plate. His high
arching spinners dropped right into the strike zone but the Design batters
couldn’t get their timing right. More
than one Designer was seen throwing down a bat in frustration. He capped of the night by striking out one of
the DOTD men in the top of the seventh for out number three and the victory.
Jason Newell had a bit of a struggle at the plate and
couldn’t get a break from the plate, although he did get seriously robbed on a
hard line drive between right and right center.
We’ll have to chalk it up to the curse of the number four spot in the
lineup. Russell Richardson got the spot
in the last game and was hurt in the second inning, whereas Jayson went 3 for 4
in the number six spot. Gary Beedle
asked to be moved down in the order after feeling the curse last season. In the number seven spot last game he went 3
for 3 and scored twice. Who will step up
to the plate and volunteer for the number four spot next week?
Up next for the Zeppelins is the Department of
Insurance. LED defeated the “Regulators”
in a close match that was won in the bottom of the seventh last season. Game date, time and location TBD.
